Local hijacks localhost and issue with Valet

Support
1

Issue Summary

Installed Local ver 5
Now when I go to my other sites using my standard Laravel Valet/mysql setup, the site can’t connect to database.

After long rabbit hole of checking mysql versions and path issues – I tried updating application/site configs to connect to 127.0.0.1 instead of ‘localhost’. Was a relatively easy fix, but I’m displeased that Local hijacked localhost without telling me. I’d also like to know how to undo this change.

I did notice that when I started Local, I wasn’t able to use it’s host file domains as I’m using Valet. But once you tell Local to use ‘localhost’ there is no way to toggle it back in the UI.
